I shot a small buck in the woods at a very close 25 yards with a 30-30 Winchester. At the shot the deer ran hard going down hill and ran right into a tree with his chest and spun him 180 degrees where he fell dead. It was an odd sight.
Another time I was hunting with my brother and he shot a doe in a field where there was a buck with her. After the doe dropped the buck tried to mount her on the ground. We both watched in disbelief at what was going on.
Yet another time I was hunting with my brother and there were several deer standing in the field in front of my uncle's house. I shot one of the does and she dropped. The other deer panicked and actually ran towards us. I think the echo of the shot in that corner was confusing. They got within 50 yards or so before my brother shot one too. Before his deer could hit the ground my uncle's border collie had tackled it with his front paws standing on it as proud as he could be. I would not have believed it if I had not been there.
